A Java-based Event Discovery and Management Platform connecting event organizers and travellers through a single web application.
TorchBearer is a Java-based Event Discovery and Management System developed as a mini-project for the Department of Information Technology.
The platform aims to bridge the gap between event organizers and travellers by providing a centralized platform where organizers can publish events while travellers can easily discover, explore, and book them.
The application follows a role-based architecture, providing separate functionalities for Organizers and Travellers to ensure a seamless and personalized user experience.
